Can the P-TRAK® particle counter be field-calibrated or checked to make sure its working properly?
Field checking the P-TRAK® particle counter is easily accomplished by performing the Daily Checks as outlined in the manual. The Daily Checks consist of a Particle Check which makes sure the instrument is counting particles successfully and a Zero Check using the supplied HEPA filter to make sure there are no leaks or false counts. There is no way to fully calibrate the P-TRAK® particle counter in the field because this requires a great deal of sophisticated aerosol instrumentation and expertise.
